We're in a great position in 4.2 and we're getting Legendary daggers. Our pretty good situation is getting better...

Rogues scale quite well, especially Subtlety. If you're referring to Assassination; the difference in scaling between Combat and Assassination is minuscule, to the point where people aren't really sure if it exists at all. The difference between the two specs is also minuscule.

You are vastly overstating the difference in stats. The difference between having Crit on 4 items instead of Mastery (as a worst-case-scenario in the case of a tier set where only the chest has Mastery) would amount to about 50 DPS in total.

But sure, if you want to swap main because you're a bad Rogue then blame it on Blizzard hating your spec/class (because, to be blunt, that's what your posts say to me), then go right ahead! But remember that the DPS you lose from bad itemization is incredibly small compared to the DPS you lose by sucking. And I mean that as a general statement.

It's just sad that crit/expertise (which is present on 4/5ths of the tier), are utterly wasted stats for assassination. More than likely mastery on said pieces would amount to more than a 50 dps increase. I also refuse to waste 10k gold on a legendary that will be shafted next expansion, I would much rather put it towards my monks riding training (more so because I'm in a loltenman, legendary would probably come out with best-case-being that I use it once before MoP hits).

All I'm seeing in this post is you whining about losing out on 50 DPS and then implying that the legendary should scale into the next xpac.

I don't like that assassination is the worst off of the three specs (taking into account that even sub is doing better in pve). I do relatively well for myself by playing one, but it still hurts seeing all those stats going to waste because it means I can't utilize the gear to it's fullest (being that most off-set pieces would be better, yet set bonuses prevent me from taking advantage of them).

And no, I don't care whether or not the legendary would scale into the next expansion. It would increase it's usefulness, and I might be able to use it more than once, but that wouldn't change the fact that (imo, for those that don't read between lines) 10k is a pretty steep price.

is it? i mean... dragonwrath's price was the same (roughly). and gold is incredibly easy to get. so really, 10k isn't really a steep price at all.

It is if you don't grind dailies/play the AH. Grinding is a boring pain in the ass, and I never get anything I feel is worth selling on the AH... so yeah. Might not be "hard" in a sense that its easy to make if you don't mind incredibly boring and menial tasks.

So what's your solution? Don't play the game and get given a weekly allowance?

You get what you put in. You don't play the game, don't expect the top rate stuff.

Yeah, not proposing a solution to anything, or suggesting anything has to be solved. I'm saying that, to me, 10k gold is quite a bit. I'm not going to bore myself to tears just to grind it out the gold for what amounts to be a slowfall effect.
